I am so nervous today. Today is when my friend Koh Ming Hao
goes into surgery to get the remaining cancer taken out of his body.

Years ago, I first met Ming in Singapore at Cathay Photos
where he worked and where I bought a computer. We liked each other immediately.
What a smile he had that day! So infectious.

Since then, we’ve stayed in touch via Skype, email and Facebook.
I’ve watched him on Facebook; watched how he ran races, how he and his friends
goofed around, how his romance with Daphnie Chong progressed, how they became
engaged to be married, and how Ming first learned that he had cancer.

Ming has kept a #watchmingbeatcancer journal from the
beginning. He made notes, with pictures, of his fight, his ups and downs, his
moods, diet, bills, and now of his current surgery today to rid his body of the
cancer that is still there.

His friends have followed him all the way. And today we are
all there with him, cheering him on, praying for him, sending him love!
